Upcoming WCO-ONS Programs

Hello everyone!!

Hope you are all enjoying your summer! At our chapter board meeting in July, the board decided with so many changes being made frequently to guidelines for a meeting during the pandemic, to present our remaining 2020 programs virtually. We also felt it was better to decide this now than to be scrambling at the last minute if we were unable to proceed with a program. Unfortunately, this means we will not be having our annual product fair in September. Our goal is to be able to proceed with this event in 2021.

We are having a virtual program. Thursday September 3, 2020 at 6pm. The topic is Enhertu and is sponsored by Mike Ryan from DSI. The registration link for this program will go out today. Look for it!

We are planning to have a virtual program on Thursday, September 17, 2020. This will be the presentation we were planning on for the product fair. The title is "Palliative and End-of-Life Care During Pandemic-Emerging Best Practices." The presenter for this program is Pat O'Malley from Premier Health. The chapter has applied for CE for this program and is awaiting approval. The flyer should be available soon.

In October we would like to have a program on telehealth. We are looking for input from out member how the pandemic and telehealth has impacted your practice/clinic/infusion center. This will be more of a zoom meeting setting and will require involvement from the participants. We hope to see you there and ready to share! Flyer with date and time to come!

At our board meeting in October, we plan to discuss how to move forward with programs for the first quarter of 2021. Any suggestions about virtual vs. in-person and topics will be welcomed. Feel free to contact me at ladonna.hinkle@att.net or Amy Pierce at APierce@purehealthcare.org.

Thank you,
